Correct answer & explanation

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface xe-0/0/0.0 no-dr-election
Why this is correct
Wait, 'no-dr-election' is not a valid Junos command; priority 0 is the correct method. Let's make sure the option text reflects correct evaluation. Actually, setting priority 0 is the correct method.
- ✓
set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface xe-0/0/0.0 priority 0
Why this is correct
A priority of 0 makes the interface ineligible to become DR or BDR.
- ✗
set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface xe-0/0/0.0 disable-dr
Why it's wrong here
This command does not exist.
- ✗
set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface xe-0/0/0.0 drother-only
Why it's wrong here
This command does not exist.
